How far back does USD/CNH data go?

USD/CNH history runs from 2012-01-02 — roughly 14 years — up to the last completed trading day, at every timeframe from raw ticks to monthly candles. Every licence tier reaches all of it.

How large is a full USD/CNH download?

The complete USD/CNH 1-minute history is roughly 5.1M rows, about 256 MB as CSV. Daily candles over the same instrument are far smaller — around 3,700 rows, 184 KB. Tick and 1-second runs are larger again and are queued and resumable rather than fetched in one pass. Sizes are approximate; nothing is priced by volume.

What columns are in the USD/CNH CSV file?

OHLC files contain a timestamp plus open, high, low and close columns (with volume); tick files contain a timestamp with bid and ask prices. All timestamps are UTC. The files import directly into Excel, Google Sheets, Python (pandas read_csv), R, MetaTrader, NinjaTrader and TradingView.

Working with the USD/CNH series

This is the offshore renminbi (CNH), created in 2010 and tradable outside mainland controls — a different market from onshore CNY, and the two can and do diverge under stress. The series' defining event is 11 August 2015, when the PBoC's surprise fixing reform devalued the currency and CNH gapped beyond CNY. The pair is managed: long stretches of engineered calm punctuated by policy-driven repricing, which is the worst possible shape for models that infer risk from recent volatility.
